Vladimir Huzjan
Abstract
In July 1925 millenium celebration of existence of the Croatian kingdom in Varaždin was organized by Društvo varaždinskih Hrvatica za proslavu tisućgodišnjice hrvatskog kraljevstva – Tomislav society and members of Varaždin’s Hrvatski Sokol organization (Hrvatski pješački sokol and Hrvatski konjanički sokol). Krešimir Filić thought that this celebration was unnecessary parade, so he wanted to organize a new in the fall. He felt that the best program to celebrate millenium anniversary is by presenting the memorial Vatroslav Jagić plaque and opening of the city museum. He even wanted to link this celebratin with the one of jugosokol, but due to pressure, Varaždinska gimnazijska ekstenza society, whose member was Filić, accepted the proposal that Jagić’s celebration does not interfere with the millenium celebration because it was worthy celebratet in July. Filić conceded, which could be seen in printed materials of an extension, in which isn’t mention Anniversary, but announcement of big Varaždin cultural celebration.
